Chapter 141 Life and Death, Shi Jiaojiao's Spring

The situation immediately reversed.

The one who originally came to provoke them is now at a disadvantage and being manipulated.

As Shi Yu deliberately drew out the last syllable of his voice, Shi Jiaojiao's heart slowly rose, hovering in mid-air, extremely nervous.

"Shiyu, hurry up and tell me!" she urged impatiently.

Why should I tell you?

"Shi Jiaojiao, you don't know, do you! What's this cloak and vest compared to what I have? I have plenty of other good stuff!"

Shi Yu gave her a deep look, deliberately uttered those words, and then quickly turned away.

She's been a bit busy lately, and if she hadn't come to provoke her, she would have almost forgotten about her.

Perfect!

It's time for her to pay the price.

To kill someone, you must first destroy their spirit!

Nothing is more painful than taking away what someone cares about most.

No rush, I'll just play with her for a while.

Shi Jiaojiao was extremely flustered.

She had no time to continue arguing with Shi Yu; she turned around and hurriedly left.

Arriving at a secluded spot, a thought flashed through her mind, and Shi Jiaojiao entered the spatial dimension.

The space remains "the same as always".

The various supplies inside are visible, but you can't touch them.

Including that cloak and vest.

But……

Shi Jiaojiao bit her lip tightly, not completely relieved. Her anxiety remained, and she would have to endure every minute and every second that followed in agony.

Feeling unsettled, Shi Jiaojiao left the space and walked along the road with her head down.

But after only a few steps, he almost bumped into someone.

Startled, Shi Jiaojiao took two steps back.

When Shi Jiaojiao looked up and saw who it was, her expression changed.

It's Lu's mother.

She was determined to marry Lu Yizhou, so she didn't dare to offend Lu's mother at all.

But every time Lu's mother saw her, her attitude was not very friendly. She was cold and unapproachable, which was enough to make Lu's scalp tingle.

"Auntie, I...I'm sorry..." Shi Jiaojiao said nervously.

But to everyone's surprise, Lu's mother stared at her, her usual indifference completely gone.

She smiled.

"Silly child, what is there to be sorry about? Besides, you didn't even bump into your aunt." Mrs. Lu stepped forward with a smile and gently took Shi Jiaojiao's hand.

Shi Jiaojiao's body stiffened.

Overwhelmed by Lu's mother's enthusiasm, she was clearly flattered and said, "Auntie, you..."

"Jiaojiao! What do you think of our Yizhou?" Mother Lu asked directly.

“Lu…Lu Yizhou?” Upon hearing this name, Shi Jiaojiao’s heart trembled, and her face flushed uncontrollably. “He is very good. He is the most outstanding man on our Black Mountain Island.”

"If that girl could marry him, she would be incredibly lucky!"

Watching her expression change, Lu's mother gave a disdainful sneer.

However, she didn't show it on the surface.

"Yizhou is getting on in years, it's time for him to get married, so your aunt wants to set you two up. Jiaojiao, what do you think?"

"Wh...what?"

Xu Manyu was struck dumb, her eyes widening in disbelief.

My breath caught in my throat for a moment.

Oh my god!

Lu's mother wants to set her up with Lu Yizhou?!

Happiness came too suddenly.

It fell from the sky and knocked her unconscious.

So after a few seconds, when she realized what had happened, Jiaojiao was so excited that her face turned as red as if it were dripping blood.

"Auntie, is this true?" Grabbing Lu's mother's hand, Shi Jiaojiao was so excited that she couldn't speak coherently, "Mother... no, no, Auntie, don't worry, if I really marry Lu Yizhou, I will definitely take good care of you."

"Be a good girl and listen to me, be the best daughter-in-law."

"If you tell me to go east, I absolutely dare not go west!"

"Okay!" Mother Lu smiled insincerely, then she looked Shi Jiaojiao up and down carefully and couldn't help but frown. "Jiaojiao, you can't do it like this."

"Men are visual creatures, so you have to dress up nicely."

"How about this? Tomorrow you go to town with your aunt and buy a new dress. Take your time to dress up. As Yizhou's mother, I know his taste best."

"Auntie, I'll do whatever you say."

After obediently agreeing, Shi Jiaojiao left happily.

"Hmph!" Staring at her back as she was so excited she almost flew away, Lu's mother's smile faded, and she snorted coldly.

Does Shi Jiaojiao want to be the daughter-in-law of the Lu family?

Does she deserve it?

She was just using her.

Killing two birds with one stone.

By extinguishing Xu Manyu's hopes, it also allows Shi Jiaojiao to relentlessly pursue Shi Yu, ultimately resulting in a lose-lose situation for both of them.

...

The next day, Uncle Zhang's bed was moored on the shore early.

He sat on a rock on the shore, leisurely puffing on his pipe.

There are set times for sailing.

When the time comes and almost everyone is present, the boat can depart.

The first to arrive were Lu's mother and Shi Jiaojiao.

Shi Jiaojiao was holding Lu's mother's arm, and on the surface, the two seemed to have a very close relationship.

After greeting Uncle Zhang, the two boarded the boat.

Behind the reef, a furtive figure peeked out stealthily.

It's Xu Manyu.

Lu's mother changed her attitude faster than turning the pages of a book; how could she not notice?

Just then, Lu's mother wanted to leave Black Mountain Island to go to town to buy things, and she prepared the boat fare for two people.

She immediately found it strange.

That's why I secretly followed them.

On the way, Xu Manyu overheard their conversation and immediately felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, her blood freezing in her veins.

Damn it!

This old man actually... actually wanted to bring Shi Jiaojiao and Lu Yizhou together.

How can that be allowed?

Xu Manyu nearly ground her teeth to powder as she stared venomously at the two people having an intimate conversation on the boat.

His eyes darted around, and he immediately made a plan.

There's still time; she needs to find Lu Yizhou and stop all of this.

If Lu Yizhou knew that Shi Jiaojiao wasn't being malicious and was trying to "deceive" his mother, he would definitely be disgusted by her. In that case, no matter how much his mother tried to pounce on her, that bitch would have no chance.

right!

That's what we'll do!

Not long after Xu Manyu left in a hurry, Shi Yu arrived.

She's going to town today too.

There are requirements for the plastic used to build greenhouses. She didn't know what the quality of plastic was like in this era, so she thought she would go to the town to check first.

Once it's confirmed, we can find someone to start the work.

Bang bang bang!

As I reached the shore, a sharp, piercing knocking sound suddenly rang in my ears.

Startled for a moment, Shi Yu turned her head to look.

It's Uncle Zhang.

He was banging his eye-bag pot hard on a stone.

As he struggled to move, Uncle Zhang's cold, brooding gaze would occasionally sweep over her with displeasure.

Shi Yu paused in his steps.

Shi Yu's pupils narrowed as she stared at the old man.

The reason she was tricked before was because he lured Lu Yizhou to the Shi family.

Once and again.

What sorrow, what resentment?

Why bother!

Compared to Uncle Zhang's less-than-honorable actions, Shi Yu was quite frank, saying, "Uncle Zhang!"

"What's up?"

Uncle Zhang suddenly glared at her, his tone sharp.
